Title: Electrum Lightning Network Transaction Stuck for 3 months
Post by: SME211 on April 06, 2023, 02:18:22 PM
Someone has sent me BTC from their Electrum Bitcoin Wallet using the Bitcoin Lightning Network.  The transaction is pending and has been stuck for 3 months.  Is there anyway to confirm where this transaction is and get it to go through?

Did you close that channel before the transaction had confirmed? If this is the case, then send from that address to a different address with higher fees.
If this transaction does not appear, make sure that he did not double-spend it.

Are you talking about this transaction  Electrum Transaction ID - Real or Fake (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5436232.msg61630235#msg61630235) ?

I'm quite confused, you already agreed that it was a scam transaction and many people already told you the reason on that thread. If that is really the transaction you're referring to, why are you asking it again? What changes your mind? Did the sender convince you with something? You can also bump that thread if you want to ask more about it, even though I don't think anything will change.

If you are using a lightning network when sending BTC the receiver must be also connected to the lightning network if not the receiver won't able to generate an invoice or address of his LN wallet.
Unless the sender trying to send BTC via LN to Bitcoin address? It won't work, the LN address is a long text and the sender should request an invoice from the receiver before the sender can able to send BTC.

You might not yet understand how the lightning network works. I suggest check this big list below about lightning networks.

I think you need to read the comments above, it seems that the user was scammed by someone who sent him a fake TX address, you will see the details here -----> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5436232.msg61630235#msg61630235 and he admitted that.

Yes that is the transaction I am referring to.

I don't know why this user created this topic again.
